topper(camper chell) keep or sell?

So i think i want to get rid of my topper but i dont know, I thought I would like it but it always gets me into trouble in the forests. I didnt ever have a proble with trees before cause i always wheeled in desert stuff.

What do Yall's guys thinks?

i have one on my truck, and ive always been under the impression that with lifted trucks, camper shells look sick. They also come in quite handy with storing stuff, and have enough space to get 2 people back there comfy...

I would say keep it, but if you are worried that its gonna get banged up and destroyed, sell it while you can

I'd keep it. The extra secure space is always nice.

If not, you can be the first.

I'd say keep it. That shell looks nice, I'm looking to get one for my truck.

Its made of fiberglass so you would have to know how to work with fiberglass in order to bob the camper shell. I've seen someone bob a long bed to a short bed length and use a short bed campershell, but I haven't seen a shell bobbed. I'm sure its been done though.

I got rid of my camper shell in '99 and have regretted it ever since.

keep the top and split the cut (bob) on the shell between the front and rear sliders on the shell. You might end up with some overlap between the front and rear sliders (windows) but it's nothing you can't get a glass shop to cut down...
